The base rate system is definitely more transparent than the BPLR system. But there are some non-transparent aspects to the fixation of the base rate, which need to be highlighted.
In simple words the 'base rate' system recommends that the one year retail fixed deposit rate of a bank (after making certain adjustments) be the base rate for that bank and that floating rate loans be pegged with reference to such a base rate. The one year retail FD rate for each bank is easily and publicly available and to that much extent, it adds considerably to transparency.

News » Wizards' Jamison to miss start of season
Wizards' Jamison to miss start of season
Washington Wizards forward Antawn Jamison will miss the first three to five weeks of the regular season with a shoulder injury he suffered earlier this month, another blow to a club that has had three consecutive seasons marred by injuries.
The two-time All-Star partially separated his right shoulder Oct. 14 during a preseason game in Cleveland. Jamison underwent an MRI the next day; it revealed a high amount of inflammation and a partial separation. At the time, the Wizards said Jamison would miss the last two weeks of the preseason, then be re-evaluated.
The club said Friday a follow-up MRI revealed no further damage. Still, on Tuesday in Dallas the Wizards will start the season for the second straight year with one of their cornerstone players sidelined by injury. All-Star guard Gilbert Arenas was recovering from a third knee surgery when Washington opened the 2008-09 campaign.
Arenas and starting center Brendan Haywood played a combined eight games last season, when the Wizards slumped to a conference-worst record of 19-63. Forward Caron Butler, the third of the team's marquee players, also missed considerable playing time the past three seasons because of injury.
But the missing player this time will be Jamison, who led the club in scoring and rebounding each of the past two seasons. A three- to five-week recovery means Jamison would miss roughly five to 10 games. Jamison said Friday he hopes to return in three weeks.
"Originally they said four weeks from the initial injury, so that's what I'm waiting for," he said. "I'm able to do more and more each day, so I'm still just waiting for them to clear me so I can get back out there."
Jamison's optimism stems from the improvement he has made since he was injured. Two days after his initial MRI, he was beginning to regain flexibility in the shoulder. He resumed weightlifting Tuesday and said he now has full range of motion. He wanted to try shooting, but the team's medical staff has yet to clear him to do so.
Meanwhile, the Wizards will be in search of a way to replace the team-high 18.7 points and 8.5 rebounds he averaged in the preseason before getting hurt.
"It's the nature of the game for people to go down with injury, but fortunately it's not going to be a long-term thing with Antawn," team president Ernie Grunfeld said. "It gives someone else the opportunity to step up and help us while Antawn's out, and we have people that can do that. But it's going to be done as a collective effort obviously."
In the three preseason games since Jamison got hurt and before Friday night's game in Chicago, coach Flip Saunders alternated between Fabricio Oberto, who primarily has played center during his NBA career, and forward/center Andray Blatche, who had been Jamison's top backup.
Oberto isn't the offensive force Jamison is, averaging just 2.3 points during the preseason entering Friday. But he is a strong rebounder - he pulled down nine in a start Tuesday - and is one of the team's best half-court defenders.
Blatche, entering his fifth season, was averaging 11.3 points and seven rebounds entering Friday. However, Saunders said he might start Oberto and bring Blatche off the bench since he is comfortable doing just that.
"Andray is going to get a lot of time," Saunders said. "He's played really well for us. It might be a time where I bring him off and get him prepared for that role so that when Antawn comes back, he continues in that role."

Cardiologie is het medische specialisme dat zich bezighoudt met het opsporen, diagnosticeren en behandelen van ziekten van het hart. Een cardioloog is een medisch specialist die zich heeft toegelegd op de cardiologie.

De cardioloog maakt hiervoor van een aantal onderzoeken gebruik, waarvan de polsslag, de systolische en diastolische bloeddruk, het ECG of 'hartfilmpje', de echografie van het hart, en de hartkatheterisatie de belangrijkste zijn. Recent is het in een aantal ziekenhuizen ook mogelijk de relatief nieuwe coronary CTA of 3-dimensionale hartscan te ondergaan. Hierbij kunnen wandonregelmatigheden in de kransslagvaten minder invasief worden beoordeeld.

Voor de behandeling komen in aanmerking:
 geneesmiddelen: (bloeddrukverlagende middelen, anti-angineuze, ritmestoornis-bestrijdende, contractiekracht bevorderende middelen);
 elektronische al dan niet implanteerbare apparaten: pacemaker, implanteerbare defibrillator ofwel ICD, kunstmatige circulatiepompen;
 operaties (bijvoorbeeld klepreconstructies, klepvervangingen, sluiting van atriale of ventriculaire septumdefecten, omleidingen, dotteren, en ablatietechnieken).
Aangezien ongeveer een derde van de Nederlandse bevolking uiteindelijk aan een hartprobleem overlijdt, is de cardiologie een van de grotere specialismen.

Deelgebieden
Binnen de cardiologie zijn een aantal deelgebieden te onderscheiden:
 Algemene cardiologie
 Interventiecardiologie
 Beeldvorming
 Ritme-cardiologie
 Genetische cardiologie
 Sportcardiologie
 Vrouwencardiologie
 Kindercardiologie

Deze deelgebieden lopen wel enigszins door elkaar heen, omdat vrijwel elke cardioloog naast een specifiek deelgebied ook algemeen cardioloog is. Zo is er slechts een heel klein aantal gespecialiseerde kindercardiologen.

In het bovenstaande lijstje ontbreekt de chirurgie. Dit komt doordat operaties aan het hart door iemand die gespecialiseerd is in thoraxchirurgie verricht worden. Dit is weer een apart specialisme waarvoor weer een heel andere opleiding vereist is.

Algemene cardiologie
Elke cardioloog is goed in staat om vrijwel alle hartziekten te diagnosticeren en voor zover mogelijk te behandelen. De opleiding tot cardioloog is boven op de normale artsenopleiding nog een specialisatie-opleiding van nog eens 6 jaar. In die 6 jaar verkrijgt de kandidaat voldoende kennis om zelfstandig als cardioloog te kunnen functioneren.

Het dagelijks werk van een cardioloog kan verschillen afhankelijk van het takenpakket. Het spreken met en onderzoeken van patiënten beslaat veelal het grootste deel van het werk. Daarnaast voeren de meeste cardiologen ook diverse verrichtingen uit.

Beeldvorming
Vroeger was de hartkatheterisatie hét middel om het hart nader te bestuderen, tegenwoordig zijn er veel meer mogelijkheden waarop minder omslachtig en met minder risico's de toestand van het hart kan worden onderzocht. Zo is er al langere tijd de echocardiografie, inspanningstest en de myocardscintigrafie. Nieuwer zijn de methodes om middels CT-scanning en MRI-scanning de werking en het functioneren van het hart te beoordelen.

Ritme-cardiologie
Hartritmestoornissen vormen bij veel patiënten een probleem. Het gebied van de ritmestoornissen staan enigszins los van problemen met bijvoorbeeld de kransslagaders, al kunnen problemen met de kransslagaders wel ritmestoornissen geven. Vroeger was het eigenlijk alleen mogelijk om medicijnen te geven en eventueel een pacemaker te plaatsen, tegenwoordig zijn ritmestoornissen in een aantal gevallen te genezen door middel van ablatietechnieken en zijn ernstige ritmestoornissen soms te behandelen met gespecialiseerde pacemakers of een ICD.

Interventiecardiologie in Nederland
In Nederland is dotterbehandeling van bloedvaten van het hart  geconcentreerd in een beperkt aantal daartoe aangewezen centra. Er is gekozen voor een verwijs- en terugverwijsmodel waarbij een patiënt na onderzoek wordt verwezen naar een centrum om daar indien nodig een interventie te ondergaan waarna de eigen cardioloog de zorg weer overneemt.

Er zijn inmiddels veel typen interventies die door een cardioloog kunnen worden uitgevoerd, zoals:
 Percutane coronaire interventie (PCI) met stentplaatsing ofwel het "dotteren" van een kransslagvat met achterlaten van een stent;
 Het sluiten van een opening tussen beide boezems;
 Het tegengaan van het optreden van een ritmestoornis middels een ablatie;
 Het percutaan plaatsen van een aortaklepprothese middels TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation), dit kan zowel transaortaal als transapicaal;

Informatie voor patiënten
Voor patiënten zijn inmiddels veel goede bronnen op internet beschikbaar zoals Hartwijzer of de online beschikbare brochures van de Nederlandse Hartstichting. Zie onder externe links voor de links.

Beroepsvereniging
De Nederlandse Vereniging voor Cardiologie is de beroepsvereniging die in Nederland de cardiologen vertegenwoordigt. De NVVC heeft een aantal taken waaronder het toezien op de kwaliteit van het werk van alle Nederlandse cardiologen, behartiging van de belangen van de beroepsgroep en vertegenwoordiging van de beroepsgroep binnen de maatschappij.  Geregeld wordt elk ziekenhuis bezocht door een commissie die beoordeelt of de kwaliteit van de cardiologische zorg op peil is. Een dergelijk bezoek wordt een visitatie genoemd.

FIFA Suspends Nigeria From International Soccer
Richard Spiropoulos July 9, 2014 106
Nigeria is third African team with World Cup pay issues
After putting up arguably the best showing of all the African teams that made it into the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, it was announced on Wednesday that Nigeria has been suspended by FIFA, the governing body of international soccer, from participating in international competitions.
The ban comes on the heels of a warning from FIFA to reinstate the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) committee. Nigeria had scuttled the NFF and replaced it with a sole administrator.
This means that no Nigerian team, including clubs can play internationally. It also means the African nation will not participate in the upcoming Under-20 Women's World Cup, which starts on August 5 – should the suspension not be lifted by July 15.
According to the BBC, "Nigeria's government had said their move was essential while legal proceedings against the country's football authority were ongoing, with NFF president Aminu Maigari arrested upon his return from the World Cup."
RELATED: Two Merchandising Brand Giants Do Battle In Brazil
FIFA issued this statement, "During the period of suspension, the NFF may not be represented in any regional, continental or international competitions, including at club level, or in friendly matches."
Currently African champions, Nigeria reached the second round of the World Cup in Brazil for the third time in national history. They also made it that far in 1994 and 1998.

Death and Other Holidays – Marci Vogel
by Lisa Dillman
[Melville House; 2018]
It will come as no surprise to readers of Marci Vogel's Death and Other Holidays that her first book, At the Border of Wilshire and Nobody, was was a work of poetry. The opening stanza of one poem in the collection, "The Mapmaker Is Revealed to Be a Woman" – a marvelous title if ever there was – reads:
We were navigating the sad, pulling branches off trees with chainsaws
& bulldozing trunks. Startled birds
did not know where to go in the chaos.
Her most recent work, Death and Other Holidays, however, is a novella. A novella that could easily be described as being about navigating the sad. Despite the centrality of death to the book, its tone is more poignant and affecting than mournful and depressing. It's the sort of prose that may make you cry (at least it made me cry) but over its lyrical beauty and spot-on turns of phrase rather than the tragedy of what has taken place. Indeed, Vogel portrays death with what often seems a light touch. Here, for instance, is the way the protagonist notes that her father committed suicide: "He hanged himself the year I turned sixteen. He left me his Datsun B210 hatchback, and it was months before I learned to operate the clutch without stalling." Months that were, no doubt, spent navigating the sad, but which are left to the reader to imagine: no further detail provided. Her style is spare and unaffected, often with a dash of wry; no superfluity here. Both narration and dialogue come off as conversational, casual, off-handed, so natural as to be effortless. Yet as Mark Polizzotti notes in his outstanding book Sympathy for the Traitor, "Even . . . snatches of natural-sounding dialogue . . . are the product of many weighed choices, of phrasings discarded, reinstated, and discarded again. Making something look effortless is hard work." Although Polizzotti is writing, here, of translation, the effort required in order to render fiction from one language into another, his statement holds equally true for monolingual creative writing, be it poetry or prose.
The protagonist of Death and Other Holidays, the vernally-named April, has recently lost Wilson, her mother's second husband, with whom she had what was clearly a deep and genuine relationship. She narrates for us one calendar year from the time from his death, from Spring 1998 to Winter 1999; the book is divided into four sections of a season each. And thus, it is Spring when we meet April in her cruelest month, coming to terms with her recent loss. "[A]nyone I've ever known who's died," she says, "they died in the Spring." Over the course of this season, April provides small snapshots offering glimpses into the type of man Wilson was, simple vignettes, stripped of detail, chronicling everyday life. "Wilson's family were Petaluma poultry farmers, which is how Wilson learned to candle an egg, see if it was viable". She recalls her stepfather with constant and understated affection, revealing the intensity of their emotional bond while eschewing the mawkish.
Here is a stanza from Vogel's poem "Studying Abroad in the Country of Love":
When I was a girl, I had a crush on Lincoln, all sad eyes and stooped shoulders. I thought I could heal him, heal the whole country of sad.
In Death and Other Holidays, it seems to me, April navigates the sad but also unconsciously heals it over her four fin-de-siècle seasons. This she accomplishes not by burying it, or via epiphanic moments and symbolic acts providing "closure" but simply by carrying on inexorably, like time.
One of many finely crafted aspects of this novella is its hazy yet undeniable locatedness. While not emblematic of Los Angeles with the intensity or granular specificity of Issa Rae's Insecure or Jonathan Gold's restaurant reviews, Death and Other Holidays embeds itself deeply in Los Angeles throughout. April, for example, works as a "curatorial assistant" at LACMA, "…the county museum, which sounds more glamorous than it is." On her lunch breaks, she often "take[s] a walk around the park, look[s] at the tar pits, all the dinosaurs stuck in the black, sticky ooze." She lives half an hour from the beach and goes to Ballona Creek and Solstice Canyon. LA is not an ever-present character, but a cogent backdrop, reliable and cohesive, providing touchstones (e.g. the See's factory on La Cienaga) for readers familiar with the landscape and texture for those who are not. Rather than winks to Angeleno insiders that leave others out in the cold, Vogel provides a window through which everyone can glimpse April's world on both emotional and geographical levels.
The book won the 2018 Miami Book Fair / de Groot Prize, which the back-cover notes is "the only American literary award honoring the novella" and might push the envelope of what we tend to think of as a novella. Each season is divided into chapters (for lack of a better word); some are several pages, others six or seven lines. And at times it seems that tabs and line breaks are the only thing differentiating them from prose poetry, the sort reminiscent of William Carlos Williams. Here, for instance, is the chapter entitled "Space" in its entirety: "After Wilson died, my mother started sleeping on his side of the bed so she wouldn't see the empty space where he used to be. He always took the left, like where your heart is inside your body, farthest from the door. It was late one Sunday morning when I walked in and saw her sleeping there." The title "Space" functions as a little capsule of polysemy: it may signify the void left by the fact that Wilson is no longer around; the place of honor that was reserved for him; even the space between April and her mother, who seem not to speak of his death, to each mourn in isolation. This is the case with nearly every chapter title: they refer to a concrete object or issue in the story, but also resonate on a deeper metaphorical level (or three) and struck me as tremendously thoughtful, as literally painstaking. Clutch, By Accident, Balance, Anchor, Patrimony, Dark Room and Rest Stop are just a few of many examples.
While Spring, for April, is the season of death, her Summer opens with resurrection, via a reflection on June bugs, "which don't show up until July." April's best friend Libby has a dog named Argos who "snaps at them until they fall on their backs. Then he paws them right-side up and they fly away like they were never dead." Throughout the season, April's romantic life (if not "love" life) has something of a resurrection as well; she dates men including "Math Man" and "Leaf Man" while seeming to remain detached, not aloof, simply not invested. "Wilson told me once that in every couple there's always one who loves the other just a little bit more. 'Don't worry, April,', he said, 'you're the image of your mother. It won't be you."
Winter is surprisingly cold in Los Angeles, "those old stucco buildings are constructed like Lego sets, no insulation and no weather stripping." But rather than hibernate in this season, she grows. April makes recipes out of Sunset Easy Basics using vegetables from the garden in "Rooted" and may put down a few emotional roots of her own as well. Literally and metaphorically, the season Is filled with not only ashes but seeds, things growing in addition to dying.
In the end, Death and Other Holidays is reassuring, both to readers and April, who find solace in its solid, tangible realities. The concrete presence of pick-up trucks and See's Candy, rhubarb and garbage disposals (with their "familiar sound of spoons grinding up") is comforting, as is the notably freeing lack of technology. Only at the end of Winter, when we are, of course, on the brink of the what was called Y2K, is the encroachment of the digital world hinted at. In the very last chapter, April hears a report on National Public Radio about a "tiny instrument…called a Global Positioning System. Apparently…these satellites in the sky…figure out all the math and then tell you where you are. I don't know how this would help a person, exactly. I already know where I am, and I'm not in Hawaii." And while her much-needed vacation does not seem to be on the verge of materializing, there is a liberating sense of release in the aptly titled "Go."

Well, this might upset you but you should not mount the oven in a cabinet! Better you don't. Although it is understandable that it causes placement hassle as the fan at the back requires a lot of venting volume so you need an appropriate place for the oven. However, the CMW-200 weighs about 50lbs. so make sure that you get a permanent place for the oven as it is not a friendly item for portability.

It features Multi-Stage Cooking Options.
The oven can defrost foods by weight, or by time.
It cooks the food evenly and quickly.
It comes with 8 functions of multiple cooking methods to try out.
It features 9 preset options for cooking foods.
It cooks faster at lower temperatures in lesser time.
It has a generous interior size with a pleasant look.
The oven gets hot while cooking.
The fan makes an irritating noise.
The oven weighs much so you have to create a permanent place for it.
The oven is a bit large and yes you cannot encase it in a cabinet.
Microwave mode can be a bit disappointing for its performance.
Does the microwave mode of the convection oven work as fast as the non-convection traditional microwave?
Yes, the microwave mode works as fast as the traditional microwave.
Is there any way to turn off the turntable?
Yes. Remove the glass turntable plate. You will find a plastic "plug" below. Pull it up and it will come out. This will disengage the turntable.
Is the rack inside square or round?
The rack inside the oven is round and removable and you will have 2 height options.
what is the time for preheating?
The oven takes about 15 to 20 minutes to preheat.
After the Cuisinart CMW 200 review, it was noticed that the oven although creates noise for the fan at the back and also gets hot while functioning, it does not lessen the quality of the oven. The oven is able to perform really well and can cook the food evenly and quick just like the way you want. Thus, it would really be a good buy.

Cytoplasm: Definition, Function, and Examples
Published by Admin on September 2, 2021 September 2, 2021
Cytoplasm Definition
All creatures are made up of cells, which are the structural, functional, and biological units. It is a protoplasm-containing membrane-bound structure. Protoplasm is the cell's fluid life substance. Protoplasm is sometimes used interchangeably with the term cytoplasm. With various sources, the nucleoplasm is mixed in with the protoplasm. Thus, in a tighter sense, protoplasm consists mostly of cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. The protoplasmic contents between the cell membrane and the nuclear envelope make up the cytoplasm.
What is Cytoplasm?
The cytoplasm is the cell's jelly-like material. It refers to all of a cell's contents, with the exception of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. Except for the nucleus, the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell consists of the cytosol, vesicles, the cytoskeleton, inclusions, and organelles.
A eukaryotic cell's cytoplasm is the area of the cell between the cell membrane and the nuclear envelope. A eukaryotic cell's protoplasm is made up of the cytoplasm and nucleus. The cytoplasm is simply everything contained by the cell membrane in prokaryotic cells that lack a well-defined nucleus. The cytosol and all other cellular components, including the chromosome in the nucleoid region, are therefore included inside it.
The tasks of cell expansion, growth, and metabolism are carried out in the cytoplasm of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Cellular organelles are found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. These organelles serve a specific purpose.
The nucleus, for example, is the organelle that stores genetic material and hence regulates gene expression to govern cellular functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Chloroplasts are photosynthesis-critical plastids that contain green pigments. Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for generating energy for a variety of metabolic activities.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of flattened sacs or tubules that participate in lipid production, carbohydrate metabolism, drug detoxification, and receptor attachment to cell membrane proteins. It also plays a role in intracellular transport, such as transporting rough endoplasmic reticulum products to other cell sections such as the Golgi apparatus.
Membrane-bound stacks make up the Golgi apparatus. It is involved in glycosylation, molecular packing for secretion, lipid transport inside the cell, and the formation of lysosomes. Vacuoles and ribosomes are two more cytoplasmic organelles present in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic streaming refers to the flow of cytoplasm surrounding vacuoles in plants.
Protein and RNA make up ribosomes, which are where protein is made. Some ribosomes are unattached to the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas others are. In an intact cell, the cytosol (the fraction of the cytoplasm that remains after the organelles have been removed) is the watery component of the cytoplasm. Water, organic molecules, and dissolved ions make up this mixture.
Water makes up the majority of the cytosol component, accounting for around 70%. Potassium, sodium, chloride, bicarbonate, amino acids in proteins, magnesium, and calcium are the most common ions found in the mammalian cytosol.
The cytosol is the location of numerous chemical processes in the body. It is where the majority of metabolic processes occur in prokaryotes (others occur in the cell membrane). It is where organelles and other cytoplasmic components are hung in eukaryotes.
The cytosol is involved in osmoregulation and cell signalling because it contains dissolved ions. In endocrine, neuron, and muscle cells, it is also involved in the generation of action potentials.

Cytoplasm Function
The cytoplasm is a place where cells develop and metabolise. The cytoplasm produces and degrades a variety of biomolecules. Glycolysis, for example, takes place in the cytosol.
Glycolysis is the first metabolic route of cellular respiration, turning monosaccharides, usually glucose, into pyruvate and producing high-energy biomolecules like ATP in the process. The citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation are two more cellular respiration processes that take place inside the mitochondria.

Peter Debye – Dipole Moments, X Rays, and Light Scattering
chemistry, physics	 24. March 2017 1 Tabea Tietz
Peter Debye (1888-1965)
On March 24, 1884, Dutch-American physicist and physical chemist Peter Joseph William Debye was born. Debye's investigations of dipole moments, X rays, and light scattering in gases brought him the 1936 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Most of his work was in chemical-physics with special interest in electrolytes and dipolar momentum analysis. He established a theory of specific heat with some improvements on that proposed by Einstein.[5]
Peter Debye attended the Aachen University of Technology where he studied under the theoretical physicist Arnold Sommerfeld and completed his first degree in electrical engineering in 1905.[6] Two years later, Debye published his first paper on a mathematical solution of a problem involving eddy currents. In 1908, now working with Sommerfeld in Munich, Debye earned his doctorate degree by deriving the Planck radiation formula using a method which Max Planck agreed was simpler than his own.[7] After Albert Einstein left his professorship at the University of Zurich for a position at Prague, Peter Debye took his old post. He later also worked at Utrecht, Göttingen, ETH Zurich, Leipzig, and Berlin. In Berlin, he became director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics.
Debye achieved his first major contribution to science in 1912 when he applied the concept of dipole moment to the charge distribution in asymmetric molecules. He then developed equations relating dipole moments to temperature and dielectric constant. In his honor, the units of molecular dipole moments are termed debyes. In 1912, Debye also managed to extend Albert Einstein's theory of specific heat to lower temperatures by including contributions from low-frequency phonons.
One year later, Debye extended Niels Bohr's theory of atomic structure [8], introducing elliptical orbits, a concept also introduced by Arnold Sommerfeld. Peter Debye later also calculated the effect of temperature on X-ray diffraction patterns of crystalline solids with Paul Scherrer and, together with Erich Hückel, he developed an improvement of Svante Arrhenius' theory of electrical conductivity in electrolyte solutions. In 1923, Peter Debye developed a theory to explain the Compton effect, the shifting of the frequency of X-rays when they interact with electrons.
In 1936 Peter Debye received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his contributions to our knowledge of molecular structures through his research on dipole moments (Debye equation), diffraction of X-rays and electrons in gases". In 1950 he was awarded the Max Planck Medal.
During his later career, Peter Debye became director of the physics section of the prestigious Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin and was appointed professor of Theoretical Physics at the Frederick William University of Berlin. He held these positions during the years that Adolf Hitler ruled Nazi Germany and, from 1938 onward, Austria. In 1941 he became a US citizen, so that he was able to participate in research on plastics, which was important for the war. He continued his polymer research even after the war. In 1952 he officially retired from Cornell University, but continued his research there until his death.
Peter Debye died on November 2, 1966 in Ithaca, New York, of the consequences of a heart disease.

Ghost Ship Fire Trial: Max Harris Says There Weren't Any Hard and Fast Rules at Warehouse
By Bay City News	• Published June 17, 2019 • Updated on June 17, 2019 at 6:15 pm
Ghost Ship warehouse creative director Max Harris said Monday that there weren't any hard and fast rules at the 10,000-square-foot building in Oakland where 36 people died in a fire during a music party in 2016.
Harris is taking the witness stand in his own defense in the trial on 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter for the blaze at the warehouse in the 1300 block of 31st Avenue in Oakland's Fruitvale district on the night of Dec. 2, 2016.
He said of the arrangements at Ghost Ship, "It was more like an agreement where you would try to pick up after yourself and if something was bothering you, you could talk to your neighbor and friend about it."
Dressed in a suit with a large pocket square, a tie and an orange shirt and sporting large earrings, tattoos and a ponytail, Harris, 29, described the warehouse as "a very autonomous place where everyone brought their insights and contributions to the table."

He said, "There was a shared understanding about what was appropriate behavior and conduct."
Alameda County prosecutors allege that Harris and Ghost Ship master tenant Derick Almena, 49, who faces the same charges, are criminally responsible for the fire because the people at the party didn't have the time or opportunity to escape the blaze since the warehouse didn't have important safeguards, such as fire extinguishers, smoke alarms and lighted exit signs.
Prosecutors also allege that Almena and Harris violated the terms of the warehouse's lease by turning it into a living space for up to 25 people and hosting underground music parties there.
But defense attorneys allege that the fire was an act of arson that the two defendants couldn't have prevented.
Harris estimated that about nine to 12 people were living at the warehouse, which functioned as an artists' collective, when he moved there in late 2013 after he responded to an ad on Craigslist but said the number fluctuated.
Harris said he initially paid $750 a month in rent but later was able to live there rent-free in return for doing work there.
Harris said he grew up in Connecticut, earned a bachelor's of fine arts degree from the Massachusetts College of Arts and Design in Boston in 2012, works in various forms of art, including sculpture and jewelry, and is a practicing Buddhist.
But he added, "I wouldn't say I'm not a Christian and would say I'm a Christian, a Jew and a Buddhist."
Harris, who hasn't yet talked about the night of the fire, will resume his testimony after the lunch break on Monday.
Almena is expected to testify later in the trial.

by Pierre Philantrope | Jan 18, 2023 | Tax Tip | 0 comments
The IRS (IR-2023-05) announced on Thursday, January 12 that 2023 tax filing season will officially start on Monday 23, 2023.
Tax returns could be very complicated for taxpayers. Regardless of the level of complication, all taxpayers could benefit by partially reviewing their tax return and by asking a few questions.
Hiring a tax preparer to prepare a tax return does not confer an immunity from liability to the taxpayer. A taxpayer cannot necessarily transfer the liability to the tax preparer in an audit by the Internal Revenue Service or a state taxing authority. The IRS will not process a return until the taxpayer declares and signs that "Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this return and accompanying schedules and statements, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete. Declaration of preparer (other than taxpayer) is based on all information of which preparer has knowledge."
The tax return could have many pages. Many items are difficult to understand. However, there are some steps that taxpayers could take to ensure that their return is accurate by reviewing and asking questions related to certain items.
Take some time to review: line 1 (Wages) – your total W2 income for the year, line 8 (Other Income)- additional income and adjustment to income from schedule 1 (take a look at schedule 1), line 9 (Total Income), line 12 (Standard Deduction or Itemized Deductions, line 34 (Refund) – a suddenly big refund without some changes in financial situation is a red flag. Finally, ensure that the tax preparer's name, signature, address, and PTIN is noted at the bottom of page below your name.
Ask questions!
This review could save taxpayers a lot of money and could protect them from audit!
Taxpayers who received more than one (1) W2 may not have all W2s accounted for because some preparers would not report the correct income to affect the earned income tax credit and other credits. However, the IRS received all of them. They could have a fraudulent Schedule A, and or a Schedule C on their returns. It is easy to discover inflated expenses on the Schedule A and the Schedule C.
Self-employed taxpayers (Schedule C) might not have the correct income reported. When the total gross income does not match that from the 1099-Ks or other 1099s, it is a red flag for audit. If you reported gross income without expenses, it is also a red flag because the income reported affects the earned income tax credit amount. In Memorandum 200022051, the Internal Revenue Service Office of the Chief Counsel advised tax professionals that they should know that all expenses must be deducted.
Partners and shareholders should keep track of their basis in their partnership or S corporation. They should inquire about the classification of any income received, whether it is distribution of capital(basis) which is not taxable or net income from the profit, a taxable event. Reasonable compensation is another audit target because shareholders would take a lower salary to minimize their FICA and employment taxes. In these cases, the IRS could determine a reasonable salary and penalize the shareholders or partners. The IRS could also reclassify income when it could be determined that income is disguised as distribution. Partners and shareholders should review their schedule K-1 for accuracy. Part of the 80 billion dollars that the IRS recently received has been used for tax law enforcement and partnerships and corporations are currently the main targets.
Taxpayers who claimed to be real estate professionals must pass the three-parts test for losses to be fully deductible: 1) spending more than half personal service in real property trades or businesses – log of business activities is key, 2) 750 Hour Rule – must perform at least 750 hours annually, and 3) material participation– taxpayers could meet this test in several ways as described by the code and regulations. A taxpayer would not pass the active participation test when he or she owns less than 10% of the real estate business. Grouping of activities under IRC section 469 and relevant regulations provides a remedy.
The Internal Revenue Code in Section 6662(a) and (b)(1) imposes an accuracy-related penalty equal to 20% of the amount of any underpayment of tax that is due to the taxpayer's negligence or disregard of rules or regulations. An underpayment is generally defined as the difference between the tax imposed on the taxpayer and the tax reported on the tax return. Section 6662(a) imposes an accuracy-related penalty on taxpayers on the theory that the petitioners' underpayment of tax was due to negligence.
The Internal Revenue Code provides an exception in Section 6664(c)(1) to the imposition of a penalty, if it is shown that there was reasonable cause for the underpayment and the taxpayer acted in good faith.

Old Story
Social and sporting activities
You are here: Home1 / Vertragus In Art2 / Artist3 / Bernard Boutet de Monvel
Bernard Boutet de Monvel
9 August 1881 – 28 October 1949
Bernard Boutet de Monvel was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker, fashion illustrator and interior decorator. Although he was first known for his etchings, he gained notoriety for his paintings of him, particularly his geometric paintings from the 1900s and his Moroccan paintings made during the First World War. In both Europe and the United States, where he often traveled, he also became known as a portrait painter for high society clients.
In 1898 he was introduced to engraving by the American painter Louis McClellan Potter (1873-1912) and soon learned to master the technique. Boutet de Monvel focused on color engraving using the "au repérage" method, which required a separate plate for each color.
In 1904, after a trip to Florence, he suddenly switched to a pointillist style.
His 1908 self-portrait entitled The Portrait, which showed him in the Nemours countryside on a stormy day flanked by two greyhounds, earned him critical acclaim and an appointment as a member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts.
In 1912, the Art Institute of Chicago dedicated a retrospective to his color prints.
His distinctive style helped him develop a path to the next style known as Art Deco. Working with refined geometric linearity, he reduced his palette to black and some grays and earth tones treated as spot colors. He also tended to draw from a low perspective angle to accentuate the monumentality of his subjects.
He has also contributed illustrations, particularly fashion drawings, to magazines such as Fémina, Jardin des modes nouvelles and Gazette du Bon Ton. Among those he worked closely with were the fashion designer Paul Poiret, who was an early admirer of his talent, and the illustrator Georges Barbier, who were co-founders of the Journal des Dames et des Modes.
During a trip between Paris and New York in 1949, he was killed when his plane crashed on the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores.

Welcome to my monthly beading pattern round up. This gives you a quick overview of my March 2019 beading patterns. So, it's the best way to check you haven't missed out on an awesome project!
During this month, I've been participating in an aquatic themed beadalong on the Facebook group, Seed Beads and More. The group has been using my Star Fish beaded bead as one of their free projects.
So, I decided to add a couple more beaded beads to that and I used all these beaded beads to create an aquatic necklace. I wrote a separate blog about that, which you may already have seen. So, I won't repeat myself here!
The first of these new beaded beads were my sea turtles. They were a very popular request from members of the group and a lot of fun to design!
I finished this off with a little octopus beaded bead who makes the perfect focal point for the design!
Leaving the beaded beads aside, I also decided to make a beaded box that would fit the theme. I've had it in my mind to make a treasure chest for a while. So, this was the perfect opportunity to do just that.
I also used this design to celebrate St Piran's Day on 5th March!
Get a copy of the Treasure Chest beaded box pattern here!
Fashion trends was the second big theme that I decided to explore for my March 2019 beading patterns. I freely confess that I'm not an avid follower of fashion. I like to wear what makes me feel comfortable.
But, if you make jewellery to sell, it is always worth taking some inspiration from the catwalk. No, your customers may not have the budget to be wearing designer clothes! But, the trends that the designers are using will certainly find their way onto the high street. So, then it does make sense to design jewellery to complement the clothes your customers may be wearing.
Then, I decided to explore the animal prints trend with another beaded bead. This set of four animal print designs made a great wraparound bracelet that I've really enjoyed wearing.
I also created a leopard print bracelet and a zebra stripe bracelet on this theme. Both are great beginner level projects.
Then, I took inspiration from the trend for using feathers, to create my peacock feather pendant.
At this time of year, it's nice to try a new Easter themed beading project. So, I have three new patterns if you like to follow this theme.
My Sugar Egg was a special request. Could I design one of those traditional diorama eggs in beads? Well, I did my best, and came up with a pattern using brick stitch. This actually fitted well with a little project I had undertaken on My World of Beads. I've been putting together a series of free lessons on brick stitch. So, if it's a technique you've never tried before, how about it? This link will take you direct to all the free lessons.
I also stumbled upon another design, completely by accident! I was working on a totally different idea (which didn't work out as I wanted) and I managed to create a little basket. So, I filled this with Easter eggs (also in brick stitch) and turned it into a pendant. It looks adorable and will be perfect to wear on Easter day!
So, if any of those ideas take your fancy, use this link to find all the Easter beading projects.
I think that brings me neatly to the last batch of my March 2019 beading patterns. Although, ironically, this project was also the first one I published this month.
I decided to try turning a beaded daffodil into a beaded box to celebrate St David's Day…and Spring. So, this is the result!
Then, I ended with a couple of special requests for beaded pen designs. For anyone who likes their national flags, I can now offer you a Union Jack and a Canadian flag.
Yes, please do make more requests for your flags – or any other beaded pen design!
As always, thank you so much for your support this past month. I hope my March 2019 beading patterns have given you something to inspire.
If you have any special requests for the future, please leave a comment below. I'm always open to new ideas and new pattern challenges!


The raised access floor is one of the elements that gives the greatest flexibility to the modern working environment. The new computer and data transmission technologies, already present in almost every office, have to be easily inserted without changing the structure and the original aesthetic appearance of the rooms. The cavity of the modular access floor allows a quick installation of personal computers, workstations and calculators without stopping the normal daily activities. It is a precious space accessible from any point and where can be set the electric, telephonic and transmission implants. Furthermore, it can be used as a canalization for the air conditioning one.
Born for calculation centres, the raised access floor has a wide range of application in all that industrial sectors where computers are normally used.
It is particularly indicated, as well as for new buildings, for the renovation of the old ones. It can be affirmed that it is almost indispensable for the "open space" offices, bank agencies, control stations, electric and telephonic plants, tv studios, typographies, medical and dentist studies, laboratories of analysis.
All the elements are provided with official certification given by specialized institutes and can be supplied on simple request. All the elements that made Topfloor raised access floor are accurately tested on safety and performance directly inside the factory where a laboratory with all the modern equipment was set up.
High density wood chipboard with resins, it is available with thickness of 28 mm for structures with stringers and 38 mm for structures without stringers.
The walking surface can be realized in a various range of materials. The aluminium foil that covers the top and the bottom side of the panel creates a barrier to the humidity and improve the electric characteristics. A foil or a tray made of galvanized steel put on the bottom increase the bearing power. The panels are side bordered with black plastic materials.
Mineral inert fireproof conglomerate made of calcium sulphate with optimum mechanical characteristics, density of 1450 Kg/m3 and thickness 30 mm or 34 mm.
Made stronger by particular fibres, the material is extremely dense and compact so to allow the raised access floor to be very silent and practically indistinguishable from the traditional one. Thanks to its characteristics of stability, the panels don't suffer for variation of temperature and humidity.
There are no limits to the application of any finishing on the panel. The bottom side can be sheltered by an aluminium foil and the panel is side bordered with black plastic materials.
The panel is made of one layer of wood chipboard with resins (thickness 28 mm) and a second layer of calcium sulphate (thickness 12,5 mm) perfectly linked up.
This type of panel gives high resistance to the fire with good sound insulation. The total thickness is 41 mm and the walking surface can be realized in a large range of materials.
The bottom side is sheltered by an aluminium foil and the panel is side bordered with black plastic materials.
It is a panel completely covered with galvanized steel laminate, 0,5 mm of thickness. The core of the panel, totally encapsulated by the galvanized steel laminate, is made of high density wood chipboard and resins or of calcium sulphate.
The production process by presses realizes a special panel of 29 mm of thickness with high mechanical and technological characteristics. As it is an auto – bearing panel, it's particularly indicated where it's necessary to use at best the cavity in presence of low height floors. The encapsulated panel combines excellent performances with low costs.
The range of coverings is supplemented by special execution on given drawings and particular materials such as ceramics (only with specific panels) and natural stones.
According to the destination and the use, all the coverings have reaction to the fire Class 1 (Italian measurement) and various values of antistaticity.

Research topic Applied theory in finance and political economy
Faculty Faculty of Arts
Program Doctor of Philosophy in Economics (PhD)
Home town Vernon
Selected Award(s) Killam Doctoral Scholarships
Why did you decide to pursue a graduate degree?
Having previously had a successful career in industry, I was motivated to attend graduate school to satisfy my intellectual curiosity. I believe a career in academia will allow me to continually challenge myself and allow me to more freely follow where my continually changing interests lead.
Why did you decide to study at UBC?
UBC's Vancouver School of Economics is very well-respected within Canada and around the world. The faculty have a wide range of expertise and are highly motivated in ensuring their students' success.
What was the best surprise about UBC or life in Vancouver?
I have lived in Vancouver for many years, but even though I had been many times, I did not fully appreciate the beauty of the campus at UBC until I began attending there in September.
What do you hope to accomplish with your research?
Through my research, I hope to understand the conditions under which information is likely to be efficiently aggregated and when it is not. With a better understanding, government policies can be guided towards mechanisms that ensure efficient aggregation.
What has winning a major award meant to you?
Winning the Killam Doctoral Scholarship has further inspired me to be successful in my research. Having others recognize my potential and the potential of my research is a great motivator. The award will allow me to focus more exclusively on my research goals in the coming years.
What advice do you have for new graduate students?
I think graduate life varies considerably with the program, but for economics PhD students, my advice would be to bear down for the first year. It is a tough year, but the rewards for getting through it are many!

I do applied theoretical work in the fields of finance and political economy. I'm mainly interested in how diverse information among individuals is aggregated and the incentives of individuals to acquire information. For example, information aggregation plays a role in financial markets, through trading, and in political economy, through voting. To test my theories, I use tools suited to the application, which may include empirical data, field experiments, or laboratory experiments.


We've made these upgraded MaXX+ Sport Springs in response to those who have asked for a slightly higher rate spring. While our normal MaXX spring is rated at 71 lbs/inch, these new springs are rated at 80 lbs/inch. Each spring is wound from Japanese chrome silicon wire, set out, and shot peened for accurate spring rate and lasting performance. We have found that this spring rate is a good compromise for both occasional street driving, and weekend slalom or track use. Powder coated an attractive burnt yellow color. As an additional note, this spring may be a good choice for 74 and later Supers that use the stock (and quite heavy) crash bumpers with bumper shocks. Drivers who routinely carry passengers, a full tank of gas, and trunk cargo may find this spring feels just right. Sold in pairs.

What does Fly In, Fly Out mean?
Fly in, fly out is a method of employment used in remote areas, particularly where industry is centred in a remote region (e.g. oil fields or mining). Employers will fly staff to the work site for a specific period of time, then fly them back to their home for a period of rest.
This method is used because the cost of relocating the individual and their family is more expensive than the cost of flights and temporary, basic accommodation. This is particularly true when there are no permanent settlements around the work site.
Workers on fly in, fly out schemes will typically require workers to work long days (with no days off until they return home) – this means the level of amenities on-site needs to be relatively limited as employees will only need basic relaxation or recreational facilities.
Some of the disadvantages of fly in, fly out policies include stress placed on familial relationships and a lack of regional development. The associated carbon costs of increased air travel may also be highlighted by some groups.
A related term is drive in, drive out – the same concept as fly in, fly out but the method of moving employees around is by car.


Nature has a way of balancing things. As with the Dutch boy who tries to plug the holes in the dike — sometimes plugging holes creates new holes. The more we improve turfgrasses and management practices, the more new problems we see. Guess that's what keeps us all in business. With the disease season lying just ahead, this issue focuses on combating plant diseases.


Next the exploit logic from the original exploit was ported to Metasploit. While the original exploit uses static strings the Metasploit module uses its typical evading mechanism via generating the strings dynamically. So every exploiting attempt looks a bit different and makes it harder for detection.
Hint: This feature is quite useful for the final exploit but during development you probably would use static strings.
The created buffer for the post-request is then used for generating a nice HTTP POST request via send_request_cgi.
If we get a response and the HTTP response code is 500 it looks quite promising and finally the module tries again to login with the user admin and without a password. If this login attempt is successful the exploit has done a good job and we are able to login and configure the router through the web-interface.
During February there were some interesting reports about a new worm attacking embedded devices in the forum diary of the SANS institute. This worm attacks different Linksys routers and exploits a typical command injection vulnerability. This vulnerability was in the tmUnblock.cgi binary and it was exploitable without authentication. The worm downloads and executes a foreign binary via the web-interface.
There are at least the following devices reported as vulnerable: E4200, E3200, E3000, E2500, E2100L, E2000, E1550, E1500, E1200, E1000, E900.
Because of the fact that there are so many devices affected I was interested in creating a Metasploit module out of the details we had. The first try was also to create a payload and initiate a download then execute it via this command injection. This module is not included in the framework but if someone is interested it is fully functional and available over here.
For a first test it is recommended to have access to the device. Via this you are able to verify that the payload is written correctly, chmoded and executed in the right way. Sometimes if you are in hurry or you are not able to get access via another method like UART it will also work with a little bit of trial and error.
There was another popular command injection vulnerability in the last few weeks. It was directly exploited from the internet to harm users. The vendor of the Fritz!Box devices at first was not able to determine the correct attack vector and so it took quite a while to release patches. Because nearly every device of AVM is vulnerable it was a bit of a disaster for the vendor. As soon as they were able to reproduce the vulnerability they released patches for every device within a very short time period *thumbs up*.
The vulnerability by itself was first publicly documented here. and it is a typical unauthenticated command injection via an unsanitized parameter in the /cgi-bin/webcm CGI. Fabian Bräunlein has done an in depth analysis of the vulnerability over here. The exploit module is quite easy and it looks nearly the same as the previously mentioned TheMoon module. The FritzOS also includes Wget, so it is possible to use the download and execute method as another way of exploitation. Because this way was a bit more complex and has the dependency on Wget again I was using the cmd_echo mixin for the final exploit.
A screenshot of the exploit module that uses Wget is available over here.
The final module looks nearly the same as the previously mentioned TheMoon exploit, the main difference is that the request length is limited to around 90 bytes and we have to split our shellcode in chunks of this size. The Mixin is able to handle this and to fire the request of the vulnerable CGI as often as it is needed to transfer the whole payload and execute it on the target device.
With the exploit command it is possible to fire up the module and after transferring the whole shellcode to the target device it executes the created executable and activates our nice and shiny remote shell. After the execution it also removes the new executable from the target device. With this feature no more manual cleanup task is needed.
@7a69 has done some very good updates for improving the check functionality and some other small fixes. Take a look over here. Thx a lot!
Finally I have spent some time in a set of small MIPS payloads for the framework. For this a reboot and an execve payload were tested and ported as little endian and big endian versions to the framework. These payloads are quite useful in cases where the bigger Metasploit payloads will not fit out of the box. Typically, for special cases like exploits with a huge set of bad characters or with a very small size of controlled buffer. At least they can be used for debugging purposes. In the easiest way you could generate a payload binary with msfpayload and execute it on a MIPS machine like the Debian Linux from here (http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_mips_qemu.php / http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/).
With these modules every Metasploit user and pentester should be able to test his devices for the mentioned vulnerabilities. If you are affected it is recommended to update your router with a hopefully fixed firmware upgrade from the vendor.


It is important to talk about concepts that reflect reality. This is especially true if we are concerned about people's emancipation – it is easier to struggle when your nemeses are conceptualised and visible. In my opinion, one of the greatest obstacles of recent history is the evasive and concealed character of hegemony.
Why won't the Eurozone disintegrate?
About a year ago, while having coffee with friends in Addis Ababa, I postulated that the Eurozone would break up, probably by May, but certainly by September. Of course, I was not the only one offering such projections. But why did we miss the mark (so far)?
The top richest individuals of the world have economically recovered from the global financial crises and its aftermath. They are now actually wealthier than five years ago.
The killings of 34 demonstrating mine workers in South Africa last month has several background factors, but two of them stand out: police brutality and the exploitation of workers. And they are interlinked.
The aggressiveness of the security forces' represent the conditioning produced by the governmentality of national and international elites. Thus, the assault in Marikana, South Africa is not an isolated event, it's a global phenomenon. One major difference is the explicitness of this event – workers usually perish in silence due to, for instance, poor health or social violence, away from the cameras.


Formed in 2014, Clearwater based metal act, Cypher Machine, began when bass player, Shelby Carpenter (formerly of Hell on Earth, Strict-9 and Alive Inside) along with programmer/sampler, Scott Parrish decided it was time to bring something new and different to the local music scene. After contacting ex- band members, drummer-Scott (Moe) DeFronzo and guitarist, Keith Heisler-(both formerly of Strict-9 and Skrujaw), the band solidified a few songs and the project began to take shape. Shortly thereafter, the line-up was completed with the addition of vocalist, Lamonte Atkins ( Voodoo Tribe,Ubiquitous,Skrujaw). With its mixture of punishing grooves, eclectic samples and a distinct vocal presence, Cypher Machine has accomplished their goal and produced a sound that is not only unique but also unequaled.

Former PayPal executive Eugene Truono on Tuesday became the second Delaware Republican to enter the race for U.S. Senate, setting up a primary contest for the right to take on Democrat Tom Carper in November.
If he is successful, Truono would become the first openly gay Republican to win elected office in Delaware. The 59-year-old Wilmington native married his partner Louis in 2011.
"This campaign isn't about me being gay," he said after a sparsely attended press conference in a parking lot outside the Sir Speedy printing business producing his campaign materials.
"It's about bringing conservative principles to Washington from Delaware," he said. "It's about pushing things like tax reform, jobs and health care reform – things I think people really care about."

STORY: State Auditor Tom Wagner not seeking re-election amid health concerns
To win, Truono first must get past fellow Republican Chuck Boyce, a Glasgow-area small business owner who entered the race in March 2017.
Boyce on Tuesday said he does not know enough about Truono's platform to draw comparisons. He focused on the incumbent.
"For far too long, Delaware has been represented by career politicians and, unfortunately, many people have come to accept that as the Delaware Way," the 49-year-old said, repeating what already has become a common refrain for his campaign. "I think voters are looking for someone new, someone who understands what it means to be an employer."

Proving that they are that alternative could be a tall order for both Republican candidates, who have no political experience between them.
Carper is a three-term incumbent and arguably the best known elected official in the state. He previously served five terms in the U.S. House, two terms as Delaware's governor and three terms as the state treasurer.
Boyce and Truono both created campaign committees with the Federal Election Commission last year. But neither has filed the paperwork needed to have their names added to the Delaware ballot.
While both candidates say they have been making appearances at political and social events, they each face an uphill battle in reaching voters.
Truono said he was delivering yard signs and bumper stickers to his early supporters on Tuesday. Boyce's campaign recently purchased a 44-foot recreational vehicle for $105,000 that soon will bear the candidate's name and begin traveling the state.
The challenge is more daunting than simple name recognition, however.
Democrats make up 47 percent of registered voters compared to Republicans' 28 percent.
No Republican has been able to get within 10 percentage points of Carper since he won the U.S. Senate seat in 2000 – not even his predecessor William V. Roth Jr., who at that time was a 30-year incumbent.
"Tom Carper is a formidable candidate, who has served the state well," Truono said. "But I think people are looking for a change and a fresh message. That's why I think I offer and what will resonate with folks."
Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2017, during a hearing on the federal response to the 2017 hurricane season. (Photo: AP)
Carper, who turned 71 in January, has not officially announced his candidacy for a fourth term but is widely expected to run.
"Over the past year, I've spoken with hundreds of Delawareans as I've traveled up and down the state," he said via email. "I've been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from Delawareans who tell me they're proud of the work I'm doing for them in Washington, and I know that I have plenty more work to do."
He could be facing a primary challenge of his own. Dover community activist Kerri Harris, also a political newcomer, announced her plans to run earlier this month but has not yet created a campaign committee, according to the FEC website.
All three challengers will need to rake in significant contributions to catch up to the incumbent.
Carper was sitting on a war chest of about $800,000 at the end of 2017. That's more than nearly four times the money held by both Republican candidates combined.
Boyce had about $122,000 at the end of last year while Truono had about $81,000. Most of the money raised by both campaigns came in the form of personal loans made by each candidate.
Mike Harrington, chairman of the Delaware GOP, said he's not concerned by long odds for his party's two U.S. Senate candidates.
"Both of them are wealthy and both are great candidates who can do what it takes to win," he said, highlighting the business backgrounds of both men.
A graduate of Salesianum High School and the University of Delaware, Truono began his professional career with Wilmington Trust. He later worked as a regulatory compliance officer for JPMorgan Chase and American Express before becoming the chief compliance officer at PayPal.
Truono left the corporate world soon after returning to Delaware in 2014 to care for his ailing mother, Dolores, who died early last year. He and his husband now own two Retro Fitness gym franchises, one slated to open soon in New Castle County and the other opening in Miami.
Boyce is a New Jersey transplant and former executive at Estée Lauder, who moved to Delaware in 1998 and owns both Brandywine Executive Center coworking spaces in New Castle County. He also owns the Newark-based marketing agency, Authority Media Group.
"They are both passionate, self-made and intelligent candidates," Harrington said.
"And look at what happened to Bill Roth," he added, referring to the late Republican who lost his seat at age 79. "I have to think whoever wins the Republican Primary will beat Tom Carper."

Drs. P (eigentlich Heinz Hermann Polzer, * 24. August 1919 in Thun; † 13. Juni 2015 in Amsterdam) war ein schweizerisch-niederländischer Autor, Dichter, Kabarettist, Komponist, Pianist und Sänger niederländischsprachiger Lieder.

Leben
Polzer war Sohn eines Österreichers und einer Niederländerin. Er hatte ein abgeschlossenes Wirtschaftsstudium, daher auch das Pseudonym "Drs. P" (Doctorandus P.). Weitere von Polzer genutzte Pseudonyme waren Drs. S, Geo Staad, Coos Neetebeem, Kirsten Wiedeman, Wilson Hode, Lars Brahe, M. de Gans, Henry van Kol (nach seinem Großvater Henri van Kol), Cyriel P. Licentiaat, Henry Smith, Ludwig Otto Stadtherr, Karin Bloemengracht, Alois Mückenspucker und "een kindervriend" ("ein Kinderfreund").

Von den 1950er-Jahren an bis 1996 trat Polzer mit seinen Liedern in Theatern, Kneipen, Studentenvereinen und bei Veranstaltungen in den Niederlanden und Belgien auf. Dabei begleitete er sich selbst auf dem Klavier.

Aus Dankbarkeit gegenüber der Schweiz, die ihm im Zweiten Weltkrieg geholfen hatte, behielt Polzer seine Schweizer Staatsbürgerschaft.

Drs. P war in den 1970er- und 1980er-Jahren vor allem bekannt mit Liedern wie Dodenrit ("Todesfahrt"), Veerpont ("Fährschiff"), Het trapportaal ("Der Treppenabsatz"), Knolraap en lof, schorseneren en prei ("Steckrübe, Chicoree, Schwarzwurzeln und Porree") und De zusters Karamazov ("Die Schwestern Karamasow"). In den Niederlanden und Belgien war er ein gern gesehener Gast im Radio und Fernsehen.
